Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with foil, leaving an overhang on all sides for easy removal. Spray the foil-lined pan lightly with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1½ cups (187.5 g) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt until evenly combined.
- Break the 14-ounce (396.89 g) Symphony Bars into small pieces and set them aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk the 12 tablespoons melted and cooled unsalted butter and 1½ cups (330 g) light brown sugar until combined.
- Add the 2 lightly beaten eggs and 4 teaspoons vanilla extract to the butter–sugar mixture and whisk until smooth.
- Using a rubber spatula, fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients just until no streaks of flour remain. Do not overmix—the batter will be thin.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it into an even, thin layer with the rubber spatula.
- Bake on the middle rack until the top is shiny and light golden brown, 22 to 25 minutes. Do not overbake.
- Remove the pan from the oven. Immediately sprinkle the reserved Symphony bar pieces evenly over the hot surface and let sit for 1 minute.
- Using an offset spatula (or regular spatula if you don’t have one), gently spread the melting chocolate pieces into an even layer over the bars; the chocolate will continue to melt as you work.
- Transfer the pan to a wire rack and cool to room temperature. If the chocolate is still soft when cool, refrigerate for 15 to 30 minutes to firm it.
- Use the foil overhang to lift the bars from the pan and place on a cutting board. Cut into squares.
- Store the bars in an airtight container for up to 5 days. If your home is warm, store them in the refrigerator.

Note
: The recipe I received called for two 7-ounce bars, but I couldn't find any that big at my grocery store, so I bought four 4.25-ounce bars. There are a couple different varieties of bars (almond, toffee, etc.), but I went with straight creamy milk chocolate.
